I'll Be (A Jick Story) Ep. 20

(Selena's P.O.V)

TUNE IN TO THE VIDEO TO SEE THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. It wouldn't fit.

We didn't say much afterwards, until I realized that with both Joe and Demi gone, this was as good a time as any to directly confirm my suspicions. "Well, are you?" I said. In the silence we had created, my words almost seemed abrupt.
I noticed the color in his cheeks drain as he snapped out of his trance, and looked at me. He swallowed, and then said, "Am I what?"
"Well, gay."
He didn't say anything for a while, which automatically gave me a hint to what his reply would be. He curled his lips in, and then just as he opened his mouth to speak, a trio of girls came to our table and started to indulge themselves in Nick Jonas. He dealt with them well, to my surprise, but I supposed he was used to taking on crowds of people, and three teenage girls were like a piece of cake to him. Even still, I sat there just waiting for them to go away so that he could answer my question. I hated distractions.

(Demi's P.O.V)

At first, Joe had dragged me into the library, where we had gotten as far as saying each other's name in annoyed tones before the librarians became irritated with our noise and kicked out. Now, we found ourselves both to in the boys' bathroom. I won't admit that I've fantasized about this, because, pssh, that would be creepy, but I will say that the fact that Joe and I alone in the bathroom was not to my dismay. At all.
And the boys' bathroom was pretty much the same as the girls', only there urinals on the wall. Otherwise, it was just as small, and just as unsanitary.
Joe glared at me with purposely over-intense eyes so that I would give in and break the silence. It worked. "What?! Why are you staring at me like that? Gosh."
"You know why, Demi."
"No, I don't. Would you just tell me what it is you needed to talk to me about?" I said with a curiosity made up of half irritation, and half delight.
"Nick is new here, alright. He's my friend, and I don't need you interrogating him like that, alright? I'm sure he just wants to be treated normally."
Really, Joe? That's what you wanted to talk to me about. I sighed inwardly.
"Oh my gawd, Joe. Relax. It was just a question. Besides, I ask that question to practically everyone I meet. See? Joe, are you gay?"
His expression instantly morphed from one of annoyance to one I couldn't read. It was like I rendered him speechless.
"Joe... you're not gay... right?"
He blinked once, and then color lightly flushed to his cheeks.
"Huh? No. God, no, Demi. I'm not... I'm not gay."
I smiled. "Didn't think so," I said, content.
"So, uh, we should probably get out of this bathroom, before people start to think we're involved," he said, winking my way.
That wiped the smile clear off my mouth.
"So, would you be totally horrified if people thought that?"
"Well, yeah. People go nuts with rumors, Demi. I don't need people thinking that we're more than just friends."
Ouch. That was practically a rejection slapped to my face.

(Selena's P.O.V)

"You never answered my question, you know." I said, once the girls had fled off with giddy giggles.
"Question?" he asked, playing the clueless card again.
"Yes, Nick. How many times do you want me to say it? Are you gay?"
He gulped, obviously coming to terms with the fact that if he didn't answer me, I would have gone, like, female ape shit on him.
"Well, not necessarily, but there's... there's this one guy that I really like..."
"Joe?"
He looked up at me with wide eyes, and his cheeks glowed red.
"Is it obvious?" he asked, now obviously concerned that he would blow his cover or something.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think I'm the only one who's noticed. But just between you and me, I think he has feelings for you too. I mean, just the other day, he was talking up a storm of insults about you. I didn't think he'd ever compromise about it either, but now he's all buddy-buddy with you. If you ask me, it's all a little suspicious. No one can just change their minds about someone within a single day unless some sort of feeling has developed."
His smile following that was incredible, like I just told him that in fact, the world wasn't going to end tomorrow.
"But you won't tell him, right? You'll let me do it?"
"It's just between you and me," I promised.
"Great," he smiled, thanking me with his eyes.
"Oh! And, uh, Nick? Uhh, heh. Can I get your autograph?" I asked, while shuffling through my backpack for a notebook.
He laughed a really hearty laugh then, which by default made me smile.
"Yeah, sure."
He would definitely make some lucky girl happy one day. Or maybe some lucky Joey.
